Break a Leg

Have you ever heard the phrase... break a leg? Well, after reading this story, you might not ever wanna hear it again.

One day, I was playing with my sister in our backyard when someone came to me and asked me if i wanted to be in a play. Turns out he was looking for kids only in this neighborhood from ages 9-10 to be in this play. It was about the first middle school book written by James Patterson. I asked my parents and they said yes.

On the night of the play, I was still at home practicing when I heard a little boy say break a leg. At first I thought it was my brother, but then i remembered that he was at a sleepover and wouldn't be back until tomorrow night. So, I turned around only to see the darkness of my hallway. Maybe I was just nervous about the play. I was playing Jeanne.

When I was finished practicing, I walked to the play. I could go alone because it was at my neighborhood field. Chairs were set up 7 by 7. I guess they really thought there was gonna be 49 people watching. But really, there was only 15. That's what I call a waste of money.

Before it was my turn to go on, a heard a woman tell me to break a leg. I was about to say thank you because I thought it was my mom. Then I remembered that my mom couldn't come to the play because she sick. I just thought that maybe I'm still nervous. I was about to go on when the person who said I could be in the play came up to me and said break a leg. I thought it was really weird that everyone kept saying the same thing over and over again. But I shrugged it off.

The play is over and when I had just stopped thinking about the words, the person who let be in it started sprinting at me. I start to run away, but as he's running, his face starts to look like an evil demon. I start running faster. It's no use. He catches me and eats me. I am now dead and given the job to find another young after. Maybe it's gonna be you next.
